Wetlands have unique soil, vegetation, and biogeochemistry that arises from their landscape position and wetland hydrology, which creates low oxygen levels in the soil. With reduced …
Coastal forests sequester and store more carbon than their terrestrial counterparts but are at greater risk of conversion due to sea level rise. Saltwater intrusion from sea level rise …
Abstract Aim The smooth cordgrass Spartina alterniflora is an iconic ecological engineer that has inspired some of the more insightful concepts and perspectives in modern theoretical …
Ecological invasions are facilitated by pre‐adaptation and phenotypic plasticity, upon which evolution can act. The rapid invasion of the intertidal grass Spartina alterniflora in China …
Coastal vegetation plays an important role for climate change mitigation. Compared with terrestrial ecosystems, coastal vegetation shows higher rates of atmospheric CO2 uptake …
Los humedales representan apenas el 5% de la superficie terrestre, pero revisten gran importancia por la cantidad y la calidad de los bienes y servicios que proveen a la sociedad …

Above-and belowground production in coastal wetlands are important contributors to carbon accumulation and ecosystem sustainability. As sea level rises, we can expect shifts to more …
Four sites were selected in a salt marsh in the Bahía Blanca Estuary (Argentina):(1) low marsh (flooded by the tide twice daily) vegetated by S. alterniflora;(2) non-vegetated low …
Vegetation patterns during salt marsh restoration reflect underlying processes related to colonization, reproduction, and interactions of halotolerant plants. Examining both pattern …
